Animals Sleep, Just Like You!
A bedtime read-aloud for ages 3 to 6.
Baby animals all around the world are going to sleep tonight without making a fuss. But your little animal is an exception.
This educational and imaginative exploration of the sleeping habits of a dozen well-known animals, each with its unique sleeping style, allows your reluctant sleeper to fantasize about what it would be like to sleep with baby animals all around the world. (Obviously, this is an exercise in imagination. Children should never interact with wild animals!)
The book presents factual information about the fascinating sleep behaviors of 12 animals, including koalas, kangaroos, pandas, bald eagles, sloths, sperm whales, otters, pandas, dolphins, walruses, giraffes--and even little humans. But then, using fantasy images, your reluctant sleeper can imagine what sleeping with baby animals in their exotic habitats would be like. The message: if all the little animals in the world can fall asleep right away, so can you!
The book is organized so parents can proceed at a pace appropriate to their child. It includes a cut-out bookmark that can mark where you left off in case your reluctant sleeper becomes an actual sleeper.
